Casale/cascina a Conversano

The area sits on the limestone plateau of the Murge, with low agricultural countryside of olive groves, dry-stone walls and scattered masserie. The Adriatic coast is nearby, with the shore around Polignano a Mare and Monopoli within about 15 km. Conversano itself is a substantial historic town with a castle, a Romanesque cathedral and a compact old centre. Polignano a Mare has a historic centre on sea cliffs and Monopoli has a walled old town and port. This part of south-east Bari province is known for olive oil and, more broadly nearby, for the trulli landscape of the inland Murgia dei Trulli.
